The Ghost at the Gate

A ghostly, two-timing tale of romance where a man continues his affair with his wife and his mistress - even beyond death.

A spooky love story about a cheating man who keeps seeing both his wife and his girlfriend even after he dies.

Every night at nine, Alice Emory prepares two cups of hot chocolate—one for herself and one for her departed husband with whom she has happy visits. When she learns that her husband also returns every afternoon at three for a rendezvous with her best friend—a spinster school teacher named Connie Lawrence—the two fight over who loves the dead man most.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
